House Rules

Everytime someone would get up from death saves via healing I give them exaustion, also everytime you shapeshift you get an exaustion. Fifth Edition should use exaustion more, it makes the players more careful and the game more beleivable and enjoyable. I also use the rule where you roll HD on the long rest as well and regain 1 HD per long rest. Also your conditions never wear off on long rest, because fuck man how will you ever get lycantropy.

I like this. Exhaustion is a sonofabitch and I use it frequently. However because it's so impressive, I introduced a level of exhaustion before the first where they have disadvantage on dex and wis related rolls.

Thanks for the post anon!

If you want to be a real son of a bitch make life draining effects give exaustion as well, but make an deacent not too hard DC for them.

There's no good reason not to just total the initiative of both teams (players and enemies), add a bonus for situational shit, then roll off and have each party go in a block according to initiative order other than that it puts a lot more emphasis on planning and with the wrong group will slow things way, way down.

>> Dice rolls onto the floor?
>> Auto critical failure

MFW I now never have to spend another second of my life bending over at the table

How does this work exactly. Do you add up initiative bonuses and then habe a roll off?

I usually make the critical failure something trite "you stub the shit out of your toe, take 1 damage"

The only exception is it the roll is a nat 20

Not really favorite, but it has lead to humor moments of rage:
>Any rolls of 10 or less are auto-crit. Even if it does no damage.

This lead to a TPK within three rounds and on a separate occasion our guy with SPACE MARINE tier armor being killed by a bunch of guys with pointy sticks
